Our governor, Rick Scott, has repeatedly talked about privatizing prisons. I just read an article about a company called the GEO Group, which runs privatized prisons. It just spent $6 million for the naming rights of the stadium at Florida Atlantic University, which is creating a big controversy.

If privatizing the prison systems is suppose to save the taxpayers' money, then how can a company like the GEO Group afford to spend $6 million of taxpayers' money just to get the naming rights to a college stadium?

Scott should think twice before he jumps in there and turns the taxpayers' money over to a private company that squanders its income on such a stupid, useless adventure.
